Best Answer

Well, for the north pole, an example would be Geographic North, and for the south pole, an example would be Geographic South. Those are just another way you can call it.

A good example of polarized light is polarized sunglasses. when you look at something head on the glasses work light regular sunglasses. However if you angle them, the sun goes right through.

Another Answer

The polarization of light refers to the plane the electric field of its electromagnetic wave is oriented. Sunlight is comprised light waves polarized in all orientations.

Polarized sunglasses allow only one orientation of light to pass through their lenses, thus limiting the amount of light that passes through them.

LCD displays use the polarization of light to display their segments, or actually block light from passing through their segments. They work because the bottom layer (layer 1) of a passive display is reflective, layer 2 is a vertically polarized filter, layer 3 is a common electrode with vertical ridges, layer 4 is the liquid crystals, layer 5 is the shaped electrodes on a sheet with horizontal ridges, and the top layer (layer 6) is a horizontally polarized filter. The bottoms of layer 4's liquid crystal molecules align themselves with the vertically aligned ridges in layer 3. The tops of layer 4's liquid crystal molecules align themselves with the horizontally aligned ridges in layer 5. The liquid crystal molecules in between are helically oriented, or twisted. At rest, only the horizontally polarized part of the ambient light passes through layers 6 and 5 (this is why passive LCD displays look grey). Its polarization then follows the twist in the liquid crystal chain to end up oriented vertically. It then passes through layer 2 and is reflected off layer 1, and its travel reverses back out of the display. When an electric charge is applied to a segment, the liquid crystals between the electrodes untwist blocking the light path for that segment, which makes that segment appear dark.
